Cascade Sports Car Club Miller-Kersting Memorial Track Day at Portland International Raceway

High Performance Driving Experience and Driver's Training School

Our track days give you the opportunity to drive on a real racetrack. Whether your car is a daily driver or a fully prepared race car, whether you’re a first time novice student wanting to become a better driver or a seasoned race driver looking for some seat time to shake down your car before a race, we’ve got you covered.

This ICSCC-approved Driver's Training program will include classroom sessions with professional instruction in the dynamics of cars and car control. You’ll learn about contact patch, weight transfer, and all of the physics of a car in motion that keep you in control. These sessions will be held at the racetrack where you will also put that knowledge to use with our expert staff of in-car instructors. You’ll learn at your own pace and gradually work your way up to more challenging speeds.

For those interested in simply honing their driving skills our HPDE course is a club day environment where the goal is to enjoy a day at the race track driving fast and safe with friends and other enthusiasts who share your same passion. An instructor will ride along first session for evaluation purposes to drive the track solo for the remainder of the day.

Since this is a special Sunday event, we will be offering extra time on track for all groups!
